After we returned from Pre-English Weekend, we made a final stop at 水前時公園 (Suizenji Park). This is a park not too far from our university; probably about a 10 or so minute bike ride. On this particular day, there was a traditional Japanese sport being demonstrated: 流鏑馬 (yabusame). Yabusame is horseback archery. I won't spoil the video too much, but basically there were men dressed in traditional attire who performed Yabusame. It was really quite something to see, and I'm really glad we got the chance to see it.
Have a look at the video we uploaded to YouTube to see it for yourself; hope you enjoy it folks! Until next time :)
